Brazilian woman arrested for smuggling 3.6 kg liquid cocaine into Bali
Officers found seven bottles of personal care products containing some 3.6 kilograms of liquid cocaine inside the suspect's suitcase.
On October 16, authorities in Bali intercepted a 36-year-old Brazilian woman attempting to smuggle 3.6 kilograms of liquid cocaine into the country via I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport. Identified only as TCDS, the woman was apprehended upon her arrival from Brazil, according to a report by The Jakarta Post on October 5.
Bali Police chief spokesman Sr. Comr. Ariasandy revealed that the arrest was initiated by the suspect's suspicious behavior after her arrival at the airport. Customs officers from the Ngurah Rai Customs and Excise Office became suspicious of the luggage carried by the foreign national. They promptly informed the Bali Police's Narcotics Criminal Investigation Directorate, leading to a joint inspection of the suspect's suitcase.
The investigation confirmed the officers' suspicions when seven bottles containing a suspicious liquid, believed to be liquid cocaine, were discovered inside the suitcase. The authorities noted that the suspect had employed an elaborate method to conceal the cocaine by converting it into a liquid form and hiding it in seven bottles of personal care products and shampoo to avoid detection during routine inspections.
